DTS-MA 7.1 to AC3 5.1
Quote:
Ran another keeping the DTS core w/BD9 and the soundtrack played clean in Kodi and I don't hear the scratchy noise between .m2ts files, interesting. I also did a movie-only BD9 re-encoding to AC3 and the soundtrack also plays cleanly w/no scratchy noise, probably because the multiple .m2ts files are all combined into one for movie-only. So I've kept the latter for the time being hoping a fix can be found for this minor bug. Thanks again for the replies and help and thank you jdobbs for the great program!

There are those that say DTS is better than Dolby Digital. |

You know, you could get a QNAP 12 bay NAS and put 10 TB drives in it, running two RAID6 volumes. That would get you about 72 TB of storage. You could then save the files at BD25 rates and keep the high res audio. Ya, I know, you have to win Powerball for that to happen. |

Short answer is yes.

As for options, the only ones to worry about are what you want for the menu font, its color, etc. If you do not have a BD25-RW disc, get one. You'll want to test what you've done on a rewritable, otherwise you will end up burning coasters. Hardly anyone gets it right the first time around. OK, first off, what is the video and audio formats contained within the MKV file? Hopefully the video is H.264, BD compliant. The audio needs to be BD compliant at well, though until jdobbs puts out a new version that will allow DD+ audio, any DD+ audio must be converted before use. If the video and audio are BD compliant and the total size of all the files will fit on the BD-25, then you have the easiest numbers of steps to make a disc:
If you desire, you can create your own menu background and import it into BDRB. If you do that, when building the menu, clear the text for the menu title. You will need to position the text using the offsets available in the options. Go back thru the thread and you will find a post from me that provides a couple of templates that have grids to give you a guide as to what to use. I try and center the text horizontally and that depends on the longest menu item. It also depends on the number of menu items on a page. If have 8, or less, set the menu item count per page to 8 and then BDRB won't try and default to two columns, giving a longer line length for those 8. If you have the means in which to play ISO files, then you won't need the BD25-RW media. You'll just need ImgBurn in order to create an ISO from the BDMV and CERTIFICATE directories. Here is a little bit of a monkey wrench... if the videos you want to import are 1080i29.97 and have 2:3 pulldown video, then you will have to continue on thru the Backup portion and set the IVTC option to 1. That way the 2-3 pulldown will be removed and the video recoded to 1080p23.976. You really do not want 1080i29.97 2:3 pulldown video on BD. If you have a mixture of non-2:3 pulldown and 2:3 pulldown video, I do not know what to do in that case. Lastly, if you made a mistake, you must start over. BDRB currently does not have the means in which to keep the menu you had created, i.e., when you import the files again, the menu info will be reset. I've asked for a feature that allows for keeping the menu text. Experiment. I did a lot of that when I first started making my own Blu-rays from scratch. If you get stumped, post a specific question and we'll get back to you. |

It's a bit of a learning curve but once you get an idea of how to make a workflow it does it's job well. Sadly the software is no longer developed and it has some bugs. It's a lot of fun to use so have a go at it! https://multiavchd.deanbg.com/ Edit: Forgot to mention that if the output gets to big to fit on a BD25GB, well that's when BDRB can do it's magic!

never bought a license though. Didn't like it at all. For me my workflow is the "red fox" for ripping, multiAVCHD for creating menus with my own pictuers etc., both from BDMV folder structure and mkv files and also adding my own subtitles, then BDRB for compressing. Works fine for me. |

I create my own image background for the menu. Placed on it is the simple text for the menu items. I can pick the font and its color. IMHO, BDRB, beats multiAVCHD, hands down. Can it be improved? Of course it can. Every program can be improved. I've put forward some suggestions. |

Never tried menu option in BDRB, guess I'll have to give it try when a new project arises. |
